"I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to take part in the REHPS Program at Coteau des Prairies Hospital and Clinic. So many people here had a tremendous impact on me, and I'm very grateful for all of their time and encouragement."

"...I am working in Wessington Springs this afternoon and was able to mentor a REHPS DNP student today. Great to give back to the REHPS program that helped me in so many ways."

"Once again this week, Miller has exceeded my expectations! I have learned more in these past four weeks, it seems, than months at school. There is something to be said about a small town feel and the people who make a place special."

"The REHPS program reinforced to me the importance of small town medicine. Rural medical clinics are the foundation for routine wellness and medical care, and I am honored to be able to contribute to the well being of rural South Dakotans."

"... the kids really like the hands on equipment. They really looked forward to coming to class to see what new things came from the box. The ear model is super to explain the anatomy. I feel they understand it far better by seeing what the lecture was describing."
